coffee tour was nice and explorative. we learn about coffee plantation, process, and coffee tasting. the guide was very cheerful and detail. recommended!
It's very nice experience, the driver was nice and helpful when we asked him where to pick up and drop us off, the coffee tour also very interesting - we got many new knowledge about coffee from A-Z
Meshack was friendly & knowledgeable, & the coffee tasting was great. The prices for the tour are a little steep though.

Very unique experience, wear hiking shoes to walk through farm and coffee trees, hands on experience with stunning natural surroundings
The tour was perfectly arranged and the driver picked me from my Airbnb on time. It was my last day in Kenya and wished I knew this company earlier. They are excellent, from start to end I enjoyed every bit of it. The farm is well kept with a welcoming garden. This tour is educational to coffee lovers like me who have never known the processes to cup. A must do.
The farm tour went well, a lot of knowledge from our guide about the fairview estate. The tasting was interesting. We even had a word from the farm owner about his story. This tour was the only one available in the afternoon at 13:00. Everyone else happened in the morning. We had taken this offer directly without looking for others or comparing prices. Unfortunately we realized that other providers offered the same tour including: - pick up and drop off at the hotel - bottled water But that the entrance fees were to be added: 30 USD per person. We paid for two 174,80 € that is otherwise remove the entrance ticket 115 € for the transfer and bottles of water. That is really excessive. You can go by uber from nairobi for 1200KES or 10€. And no problem ordering and leaving the farm. I would like to know how the company justifies such a price?
Hello Thomas Thank you for taking your time to write to us this response. We take all reviews positively. Your 2 star rating here is based on the prize we are charging and you complain that is a bit higher to you. This information might be misleading to our potential customers as we offer this tour at the lower side in terms of prizing compared to other companies. First before you book a tour I think you must have taken your time doing your research prizing, availability, convenience and above all the best tour company and that's how you got us. Our priority is customer satisfaction and experience. You could have chosen the other avenues that you mentioned to do this tour but you chose us, we are thankful. We are sorry that this prize is expensive for you but we must let other customers know that we offer this tour the cheapest.
From the pick-up (on time) to the drive home very pleasant and interesting. Douglas is a great driver and explains all sorts of interesting things about Nairobi or anything you want to know. The coffee farm and the tour there, was super interesting and informative. Only the snacks (2 cookies) should not necessarily be listed separately, so I would have expected more so far. All in all great - especially Douglas. Super driver, well-kept and spacious car, water was already ready. The one well planned!
It was amazing experience. Special thanks from Mr. Patric , he was our driver so experienced and was so patient. And the Coffee farm tour leader James Otieno was perfect so much knowledge about coffee ☕️ and he was so talented. Most best experience every one should visit and find the piece of heaven.
